It is somewhat confusing. Blocks seem like components because they are defined in the template. But Thiago is right, they're just "Blocks".
Here is a good reference you can use as a rule of thumb for what is (and is not) a component: http://tapestry.apache.org/component-reference.html At the bottom, there is a list of base classes which make a component class a component. If a class does not derive from one of them, it technically IS NOT a component. And Block, derives from BaseLocaltable therefore it is not a component. And of course, you use @InjectComponent to inject components defined in the template. Therefore, since Block is not a component, you use @Inject, as Thiago said.
